I am a newcomer to Dovecot so apologies if this is elementary.

I want to set up dovecot to allow other computers on my home network to
read emails on my desktop via IMAP. This computer is called arcadia.

dovecot is running and I can access the mail on the same computer with
mutt -f imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I use the above line on a different computer in the network it  says
"authenticaing 'PLAIN'" and then "logging in ..", then "login failed" and
cuts out.

In /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I have set

disable_plaintext_auth = no

I have no idea how to proceed further.
